    You need to purchase a helmet with resistance against sonic projectiles.

    Welcome to the cyberpunk dystopia 

  2. So guess we know the source of those random sonic attacks from a few years ago.

    Not that I think anyones surprised.

  3. Oh shit I remember reading about these in an unclassified dump. We’ve had this tech for a lot longer than you’d imagine.

    To use a recent pop culture reference… picture what was done to 11 in stanger things. Semi-similar.

    E: Theoretically this could cause organ failure, particularly the heart I’d wager if focused. Makes natural causes in a lot of cases suspect as fuck too. Yeesh.

  4. Sonic weapons are pretty well known and used for crowd control – very low frequency noise can cause severe nausea, a real crowd disperser. This account sounds like bullshit though – vomiting blood? More like “we took the money and hid, and were given this story as cover”.

    im going to gamble this is the US Govenrment trying to scare our allies with super weapons that dont exists.

    50/50 we are about to try and take greenland, and we want them to think we have magic head exploding weapons we can use anywhere at any time.

    > Security Guard: Yes, but it was a massacre. We were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed… it seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn’t do anything.

    Anonymous “security guard” questioned by anonymous “interviewer”, quoted on Twitter

    Good enough for me. The US has magic head exploding weapons now.

    “You may live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension,” – Nikola Tesla.

    The scary thing is these are the “Humane” ones.

  8. Assuming the story is real, I wonder if it was some kind of high-powered LRAD or if the injuries he described were caused by pressure waves from breaching charges or something like that.

  9. So is there anyway to verify this? A social media influencer posted this with no way to verify. Anyone find something more concrete.

  10. Maybe there was something they learned from those mysterious sound attacks on our embassies a few years back.

  11. This is why WW3 is so terrifying. Imagine an entire battalion blinded by a laser or made deaf by a sonic wave. Thats not even thinking of biological or nuclear weapons yet. Just like the massive increase in casualties from WW1 to WW2, the numbers of casualties would/will be staggering.

  12. Is there a proof of concept version of this thing? I know the microwave gun is real, I’ve seen it in person. I’m also aware of the directed megaphone. But I dont think I’ve ever heard of some thing like this outside of fiction. Maybe it was just a stealth little bird dropping tons of flash bangs.

    These weapons should be a war crime! Oh wait right that won’t actually stop anything lol

  14. That entire “testimony” sounds suspiciously like Trump speaking, so I will choose to believe the entire thing is manufactured and not real.

  15. >The Venezuelan soldier issued a stark warning to other nations following the raid. ‘I’m sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States’, he said. ‘They have no idea what they’re capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They’re not to be messed with.’

    It’s scary how effective this tech is.
